The Air Force 1 Low '01 “MTA MetroCard” brings one of the silhouettes most closely associated with New York City's sneaker culture back to the city, featuring subtle details and unique accents.
The upper is made of gray suede with tone-on-tone laces and various shades of gray that maintain the understated design, while the soft pink outsole softens the color scheme. The nod to the city becomes apparent upon closer inspection: a hidden Nike NYC logo appears behind the tongue, while the hanging tag features the graphic design of New York's iconic, now-discontinued MetroCard. The MTA logo on the tag has been replaced by the Nike Swoosh, and inside the box, there are replacement laces that match the pink of the sole.
